The Bird journey
Why choose Bird for WhatsApp?
Choose Bird when your WhatsApp experience belongs with the customer data, campaigns, AI assistance and service workflows your team operates in Bird. Evaluate the whole exchange, from the first eligible message to the recorded result.
A useful campaign
Review the audience, approved content, destination and team handling replies.
A connected service task
Use current business information, permitted actions and a clear human handoff.
A measurable result
Join the conversation to the order, booking or case outcome and reconcile its cost.
A practical evaluation
Test the campaign and the team response together.
Use a campaign that creates a real question for your team. Compare how the audience is selected, how the reply reaches an operator and how the eventual lead or order is recorded.
Audience and preferences
Inventory the tags, consent records and exclusions used by your campaign. Confirm the same inclusion and suppression decisions in Bird.
Tracked links
Record the link domain and destination used in each template. Separate the click observation from the lead or purchase recorded by your business system.
Team and call routing
Rehearse an available assignee, an unavailable contact owner and an unanswered call. Compare the resulting assignment and follow-up your team must handle.
Custom calling
Check access before including a custom voice integration in the evaluation. Wati documents this integration as beta and available on request.
Measure whether the customer reaches the right person and the lead or order keeps its identity across campaign, chat and call.
Read the Wati migration guideA deliberate migration
Move the workflow along with the number.
Inventory campaign audiences, tags, automations, shared-team assignments, click-tracking domains and calling workflows. Preserve lead and order identities when translating those workflows to Bird.
Prepare the assets
Confirm account ownership, sender access and the supported migration path. Keep consent, suppression and customer identities intact.
Rehearse the cutover
Test sends, replies, callbacks and business actions in a controlled evaluation. Agree the monitoring and recovery owner.
Protect the customer experience
Plan active conversations and queued work. A migrated sender does not automatically migrate every application workflow.
